Wherever we find water on Earth we find life. And so, it makes sense to search throughout the Solar System to find water. Well, here's the crazy thing. We're finding water just about everywhere in the Solar System. This changes our whole concept of the habitable zone.

SpaceShipOne is the spacecraft created by Scaled Composites to win the $10 million Ansari X-Prize in 2003. It was the first privately built spacecraft to reach 100 km in altitude, twice in two weeks, carrying the equivalent of 3 people. It's the prototype of the upcoming SpaceShipTwo, created for Virgin Galactic to carry paying passengers into space.﻿

Before the Apollo Program, there was the Gemini Program, and before Gemini came the Mercury Program. 7 elite astronauts chosen from a pool of military test pilots. How did NASA choose these original 7 men?

Who knows what mysteries lurk at the military's Area 51 complex in Nevada? Conspiracy theorists and UFO chasers think it's a big alien cover-up. But it's probably something more boring, like advanced military aircraft. Let's talk about what we know, and what we think we know about this infamous military base.﻿

Almost every historic American launch occurred at one place in Cape Canaveral: Launch Complex 39. Good old LC39 was build for the Apollo spacecraft, and then modified for the Space Shuttle program. And now it's carrying on this tradition for upcoming SpaceX rockets. Let's explore the history of this instrumental launch facility.﻿

Everything dies, including our technology. But when we’ve hurtled a few thousands pounds of robotic instrumentation to another planet, it gets a little difficult to shut it down and clean up. What do we do when a mission has reached the end of its useful life?

When the United States helped defeat Germany at the end of World War II, they acquired the German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun. He had already developed the German V2 rocket program, and went on to design all the major hardware of the US rocket program. This week, we talk about von Braun's life and accomplishments.﻿

Pamela has a day job, remember? As an astronomer? Recently the 45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference occurred in the The Woodlands, Texas. Pamela and guest astronomer Sondy Springmann will let us know about the big announcements made at this year's conference.﻿

Yes, we actually landed on the Moon. No, aliens didn't crash land at Roswell. What is it about space exploration that leads to so many conspiracy theories? We'll try to get to the bottom of these conspiracy theories, poke holes in their ridiculous ideas and help you build your baloney detection kit.﻿

It's safe to say that the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus shook up the whole Universe. Well, our understanding of our place in the Universe. It was Copernicus who came up with the heliocentric model, placing the Sun at the center of the Solar System, with the Earth as just another planet. ﻿

Join @110701307803962595019 and I as we host our weekly show: The @100902337165997768522.
We connect telescopes into a hangout on air from astronomers across the world!
If you'd like to join the conversation, head on over to the official event here: https://plus.google.com/events/csslg2b3do84qoga952a0oriiuo

How heavy is a kilogram, how long is a second? How warm is a degree? We measure our Universe is so many different ways, using different units of measurement. But how do scientists come up with measurement tools which are purely objective?

Pop quiz. How did Einstein win his Nobel prize? Was it for relativity? Nope, Einstein won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for the discovery of the photoelectric effect; how electrons are emitted from atoms when they absorb photons of light. But what is it? Let's find out.﻿

Around this time last year a space rock crashed into the Earth above Chelyabinsk, Russia. It brightened the skies for hundreds of kilometers, broke windows and injured many people. Let's look back at the event. What happened, and what did we learn?﻿

Just take a look at the surface of the Moon and you can see it experienced a savage beating in the past. Turns out, the whole Solar System is a cosmic shooting gallery, with stuff crashing into other stuff. It sure sounds violent, but then, we wouldn't be here without it.﻿

Out here in the Milky Way’s suburbs, stellar collisions are unheard of. But there are places in the galaxy where stars whiz past each other, and collisions can happen. When stars collide, it’s a catastrophic event, and the stellar wreckage is visible half a galaxy away.﻿

Join me, +Scott Lewis and a team of amateur astronomers as broadcast a live view of the night sky with telescopes around the world.
We'll see whatever's visible in the sky: planets, the Sun, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters or the Moon.

Join me and a team of space scientists and journalist to talk about the space news of the week. I can't be sure what we'll be talking about, but I suspect it'll include waking up Rosetta, ice plumes on Ceres and the supernova in M82.
We'll have two special guests, +Ray Sanders will unbox and try to build the new Curiosity Rover LEGO model during the show, and we'll also have the designer of the kit, +Stephen Pakbaz on hand to talk about how it came to be.

In this ISOOSI Tuesday roundtable chat, we ask our distinguished panel what they will be focusing on in terms of marketing in 2014. Have they made some New Year's resolutions as it relates to their businesses or strategies they execute for clients?
Our panel includes Rand Fishkin, Eric Enge and Ammon Johns.
Whether you are a small business owner or work as part of agency or as part of a dedicated marketing team in a large corporation, our panel of experts will have some great advice. Actionable takeaways applicable for any business.
Learn what's new, what's important and what you should be considering.
As we all know, new tools, new strategies and tactics are always being developed. But what skills and techniques should you develop this year for the maximum impact?
And with so many areas of marketing to consider, how do you divide your resources (financial, time, etc) to position yourself well for 2014's needs and market?
It's a great chance to ask questions to a panel of guests that have been extremely successful in business by continuously improving their own marketing techniques, processes and systems. ﻿

As we’ve said before, all telescopes really want to be in space. In part 3 of our series on amateur telescope making, we bring you up to speed on the final frontier: amateurs building space telescopes. The hardware and software is available off the shelf, and launches have never been more affordable. The era of amateur space telescopes has arrived.﻿

*Hello Space Fans!*
Join +Tony Darnell and +Scott Lewis as they host a +YouTube Live Event, discussing the year's most amazing events in space and astronomy!
They'll be joined by special guests to share their thoughts on what was the major newsmaker of 2013.
And how about you? What do you think is the most important thing that happened in or about space this year? Leave your comments below or on the YouTube event. (See "official link")
#TYIA13 #ScienceEveryday #YouTubeLive #Space #Astronomy

Why pick up a low quality, wobbly telescope from the department store when you can craft your own - just like Galileo, and all the great astronomers from history. For a minor investment, you can build a worthy telescope out of spare parts and high quality kits. ﻿

The Universe is filled with hot fusion, in the cores of stars. And scientists have even been able to replicate this stellar process in expensive experiments. But wouldn't it be amazing if you could produce energy from fusion without all that equipment, and high temperatures and pressures? Pons and Fleischmann announced exactly that back in 1989, but things didn't quite turn out as planned...

Comets can spend billions of years out in the Oort Cloud, and then a few brief moments of terror orbiting the Sun. These are the sun grazers. Some survive their journey, and flare up to become the brightest comets in history. Others won't survive their first, and only encounter with the Sun.﻿

As we've mentioned before, the Sun is a terrifying ball of plasma. It's a good thing we're keeping an eye on it. And that eye is the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO. Operating for more than 18 years now, SOHO has been making detailed observations of the Sun's activity though an almost entire solar cycle. With so many years of operation, SOHO has some amazing stories to tell.

In today's episode of the Weekly Space Hangout, we're broadcasting live from the #youtubespacela studio in Los Angeles.
Join @110701307803962595019 and a team of space journalists to discuss the big space stories of the week.

We've got a bit of a late start, but we're broadcasting today. Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast.
*Episode 320: Layers of the Sun*
Our Sun isn't just a terrifying ball of white hot plasma, it's actually a lot more complex. It's got layers. And today, we're going to peel back those layers and learn about the Sun - from the inside out.

George Whitesides, the CEO of Virgin Galactic, will be giving a special presentation at the 2013 meeting for the Association of Science Writers in Gainsville Florida.
http://www.sciencewriters2013.org/sessions/future-spaceflight-update-virgin-galactic
Join +Fraser Cain , +Alan Boyle and +Amy Shira Teitel for live coverage of the presentation.
After the presentation, George will stick around and answer your questions about the future of space tourism.

Join Fraser Cain and a team of journalists and space scientists for a very special episode of the Weekly Space Hangout about Comet ISON.
We'll be talking about the history of the comet, what's expected to happen over the next few months, and how you can see it for yourself.
We'll even make a comet, live right here in the Hangout.

I'd like to invite everyone to enjoy the *Perseid Meteor Shower for 2013*. This is one of the best meteor showers of the year because it's very active - with upwards of 60 meteors/hour - but also because you get nice warm summer weather in the Northern Hemisphere.
http://www.universetoday.com/103826/the-2013-perseid-meteor-shower-an-observers-guide/
The shower peaks on the morning of August 12, 2013, but you can see plenty of meteors for a few days before and after, as we pass through the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle.
Take some time right now to make plans with your friends and family to enjoy this wonderful meteor shower.
Find a place nearby with dark skies so you can really appreciate the meteors against the backdrop of the Milky Way. Pack some comfy camp chairs, a few blankets and bring snacks and drinks. A pair of binoculars would be nice, but they won't help you see meteors - you just need your eyeballs.
Here's a great tool that shows you where there's light pollution:
http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/
Find a spot that's at least green on the map if you can.
I'll post more details to this event as we have more organized, but at the very least, click Yes to this event. Start planning your enjoyment of this once a year activity.
Thanks to +Randy Halverson for the beautiful picture.

Have you ever asked a question to someone in space? No? Well now’s your chance. In a first for the agency, NASA will host a Google+ Hangout live with the International Space Station on Feb. 22 from 10:30 a.m EST to 11:30 a.m. EST. Google+ Hangouts allow people to chat face-to-face while thousands more can tune in to watch the conversation live on Google+ or YouTube. This unique opportunity will connect you, our fans, with astronauts living and working on the orbiting laboratory 240 miles above the Earth.
During the event, several video questions will be selected and answered by astronauts on the space station and on the ground. Additionally, NASA will ask real-time questions submitted by our followers on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook.
Unique and original questions are more likely to be selected. You can view the Hangout live on the NASA Google+ page or the NASA Television YouTube channel to watch the astronauts answer the questions.
SUBMITTING REAL-TIME QUESTIONS
To ask a real-time question during the event on Google+ or Twitter, please use the hashtag #askAstro. You can also post a comment on a thread on NASA’s Facebook page that will open for questions on the morning of the event.
WATCHING THE GOOGLE+ HANGOUT
To join the hangout, and for updates and opportunities to participate in upcoming hangouts, visit NASA's Google+ page at http://plus.google.com/+NASA.
During the hangout, astronauts Kevin Ford, Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn will answer questions and provide insights about life aboard the station. Station crews conduct a variety of science experiments and perform station maintenance during their six-month stay on the outpost. Their life aboard the station in near-weightlessness requires unique approaches to everyday activities such as eating, sleeping and exercising.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. There will be a Google+ hangout on air from the International Space Station. Learn more here: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2013/feb/HQ_13-042_ISS_Google_Hangout.html

Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live recording of their long-running and popular Astronomy Cast podcast. We'll spend the first 30 minutes recording the podcast, and then stick around to answer your questions about space and astronomy.
*Episode 291: Shock Waves*
As a meteor crashed into the atmosphere above Russia, the world discovered the importance of shock waves; how they're caused and how they propagate through the atmosphere. Today we'll discuss the topic in general and find many examples where shock waves can be created, here on Earth, and out in space.

We've got to catch up a week with Astronomy Cast, so we'll be recording two episodes of our podcast live.
*Episode 277: Orbit*
When an object is orbiting the Earth, it's really falling. The trick, described in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. There are several different kinds of orbits, and they're good for different reasons. From suborbital jumps to geostationary orbit, time to learn everything there is to know about going around and around and around.
*Episode 278: Animals in Space*
We always think about humans in space, but the cold hard reality is that animals have always been first in space. First to fly, first to orbit, and sadly, first to die. Let's learn about how our animal companions have been our trusty partners in space exploration, and let's recognize their noble sacrifices over decades of experiments.

Join a team of astronomers for a live view of the night sky. If all goes well, we'll see the full Moon, Jupiter and other deep sky objects if they're not too washed out by the aforementioned full Moon.
We'll even take requests if there's some object you were hoping to see.
Make sure you circle the @100902337165997768522 if you want to get invited to future star parties.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will discuss the first contracted cargo resupply flight to the International Space Station during a Google+ Hangout from 1-1:30 p.m. EDT Friday, Oct. 5. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and its Dragon cargo spacecraft are scheduled to lift off at 8:35 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7 from at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Bolden and Musk will talk about the flight, which will be the first of 12 contracted for NASA by SpaceX to resupply the space station. The SpaceX flights under the Commercial Resupply Services contract will restore an American capability to deliver and return significant amounts of cargo, including science experiments, to the orbiting laboratory -- a feat not achievable since the retirement of the space shuttle.
Followers on Twitter may ask a question in advance of or during the event using the hashtag #askNASA . On Google+, leave a comment in the thread on this event page with questions marked with #askNASA on the morning of the event. To join the hangout, visit the NASA's Google+ page at 1 p.m. EDT on Friday, Oct. 5: http://plus.google.com/+NASA
The Dragon will be filled with about 1,000 pounds of supplies. This includes critical materials to support the 166 investigations planned for the station's Expedition 33 crew, including 63 new investigations. The Dragon will return about 734 pounds of scientific materials, including results from human research, biotechnology, materials and educational experiments, as well as about 504 pounds of space station hardware.

I've attached last week's star party so you can get an idea of what this is about.

A new, improved portrait of Hubble’s deepest-ever view of the universe, called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, looks far away and back in time to reveal faint galaxies at one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see. This is the culmination of 10 years of observing a patch of sky that contains thousands of far-flung galaxies. The full-color XDF image shows previously unseen galaxies as they looked in the early universe, billions of years ago.
Astronomers continue studying this area of sky with Hubble. Extensive ongoing observing programs, led by Harry Teplitz and Richard Ellis at the California Institute of Technology, will allow astronomers to study the deep-field galaxies with Hubble to even greater depths in ultraviolet and infrared light prior to the launch of JWST. These new results will provide even more extraordinary views of this region of the sky and will be shared with the public in the coming months.
Want to know more? You can participate in an online webinar and hear three key astronomers of the XDF observing team describe how they assembled the landmark observation. They will illustrate and explain what Hubble’s powerful new view tells us about the evolving universe.
Viewers can send in questions for our panel of experts to discuss. The webinar will be broadcast at 1 p.m. Thursday Sept 27. Join us here for this Google Event, or watch and leave questions at the HubbleSite YouTube Channel. (http://www.youtube.com/hubblesitechannel). You can also ask your questions in advance here in comments, and we'll pass them on to our panel.
The panelists will be:
Garth Illingworth, astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
He is the principal investigator of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2009 (HUDF09) Project.
Pascal Oesch, astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
He is a co-investigator with the HUDF09 Project.
Dan Magee, programmer/data analyst at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is a co-investigator with the HUDF09 Project.

*If you want to get a reminder of the Virtual Star Party, you need to confirm that you're going.*
*Are you going? Click "Yes"*
Every week we connect up multiple telescopes into a @100902337165997768522, and showcase the night sky, right here on Google+. We'll point our telescopes at any planets, Moons or deep sky objects up at the time - even the Sun!
We'll also have Ph.D. astronomers on hand to explain the science behind what we're looking at.
We'll even take requests.

The Theory of Evolution provides a rich explanation for why we see the diversity of life here on Earth. There are so many lines of evidence, from genetic drift to the fossil record. But how did life start? How did things go from a collection of raw materials to the building blocks of life, giving evolution and natural selection a way to take over? That first step, from non-life to life is called "abiogenesis", and it's one of the most important questions science can answer.
#astronomycast-abiogenesis

Once again, we'll be hooking up multiple telescopes into a live Google+ hangout, and display the wonders of the Universe. We might see planets, the Moon, galaxies, star clusters, or nebulae.
We'll also have PhD astronomers join and explain the science behind the beautiful views.
We'll even take requests.
I'm attaching a view of last week's star party so you can see what you missed last week. Hint: Uranus and Neptune.

#plusversary #googleplusbirthday
Coming to you Direct from New York City!
Of course you can only see it LIVE DIRECT from Google+ On Air Hangout! #HangoutsOnAir

Fifty years ago, President John Kennedy challenged us to go to the moon within the decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
As we remember Neil Armstrong this week – the man who, with a single step realized the hopes of a president, this nation and the world – we are recognizing the extraordinary achievements of the past five decades achieved by our nation's space agency and where the passion to explore will lead us in the future.
President Barack Obama has set NASA on course toward an asteroid and to send humans to Mars within the next two decades. This goal is not without notable challenges, but using the knowledge, expertise and American ingenuity that has been the trademark of NASA scientists and engineers for the last half-century, NASA continues to make possible that which is seemingly impossible.
At 3:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, September 12, NASA astronauts, scientists and engineers will hold a Google+ Hangout to talk about NASA's rich history of innovation and ingenuity and talk about NASA's future goals for scientific discovery and human spaceflight.
During the event, we'll be joined by:
- Dan Dumbacher, Deputy Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems Development in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. He is the former Director of Engineering at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Previously, he was the deputy director of safety and mission assurance at Marshall.
- Ron Garan, astronaut who lived and worked aboard the International Space Station. He has been in space for 178 days and has conducted four spacewalks.
- John Grunsfeld, Associate Administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. He is an astronaut and researcher in high energy astrophysics, cosmic ray physics, and in the emerging field of exoplanet studies. He was also the deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, managing the science program for the Hubble Space Telescope and the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope.
- Michael Lopez-Alegria, the President of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation. He is a former Naval Aviator and test pilot (Capt., U.S. Navy, Ret.), NASA astronaut and International Space Station (ISS) commander.
To join the event, visit http://plus.google.com/+NASA at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Ask your questions of the group in the comments below or using hashtag #askNASA :

50 Years Later: NASA Discusses Using Innovation and Ingenuity to do Big Things

This will be a live recording of Astronomy Cast, episode 271 with Fraser Cain and @109036978092446954908. Join us, watch us record the show live, and then give us any questions you might have about the show we just did, or space and astronomy questions in general.

After a one-week hiatus, we're back with another Virtual Star Party. Lots of good stuff in the night sky as we shift towards the autumn constellations and objects.
@108750361778865447048 captured Pluto for us a few months ago, and now he's going for another @100902337165997768522 first: Neptune.
If everything goes well, we should be able to get a tiny blue disc in the hangout window.

The last discussion re. *New Posting Strategies for Google Plus* was very well received. Some folks wanted to _Continue the Conversation_ a bit more, so we are putting up *Round 2* of the discussion/debate and plan on addressing other related concerns.
*Main Focus for Part 2:*
*_How to Change our Circle Management and How to Stay Social_* while adapting to the new Notification changes rolled out last week on 8/22/12.
The initial HOA (Part 1) Event & Video are here: http://goo.gl/vMkqL
When we go live this time, again, the *Live Video Feed will be visible as part of this Event Announcement...* but will not show up until just before start time. »» _Continues below, please scroll down_ »»
More folks will be in the filmstrip this time... please let us know you are "Going" and that you want in if possible right here in the Event area. If not invited into the show, please participate like last time in the comments as that helps us make it a Great Show overall... *Interaction* is what makes this HOA stuff *Magical.*

Google + Notification Changes HOA Discussion... Back at it for Round 2

Join us every Sunday night for another @100902337165997768522, where we stream the view from several telescopes into a live Google+ Hangout on Air. We'll stream whatever's in the sky right now. We'll answer questions, take requests, and generally geek out about astronomy.
What's on the agenda this week?
- The @101461771579697778955 is perfect so we'll probably have several views of it
- The planets are too low on the horizon, so no luck there - somebody might be able to get @106397393735580644683, though.
- The summer constellations are fading, and now the fall constellations are coming up. We should be able to see both, including the Eagle Nebula, Swan Nebula, Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, Ring Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, and more.
- If we're lucky, we'll also get a view from the other side of the planet, showcasing a live view of the @116479286515493152582 and its current sunspots.
(the image for this week's Event is the Eagle Nebula, captured by @107852824321756704184, and a good example of the kind of stuff we'll see)
You don't need any special technology to enjoy our star parties. Just join this event, and then you'll get a notification when we go live. Then you'll be able to ask us questions, request objects, and generally learn about astronomy and astrophotography as a hobby.
See you on Sunday!

*Google Plus is a Brave New World Now...* Certain Tools (i.e. Circle Level Notifications) have been removed from our toolbox. We had a lively discussion on what and how to post now that things have changed.
_And don't be fooled, they have changed..._
*Watch part 1 above and watch part 2 here: http://goo.gl/N07RN ..*
*@107022061436866576067 & @108210288375340023376 host the discussion...* Join in via comments or make a request here in the Event (and say you are "Going") to get a possible Invite to join in the HOA Filmstrip discussion.
*The HOA video will be streamed live right here when we start - and after the show for your viewing pleasure.*

Join your favorite astronomers for a beautiful view of the night sky, where we stream several telescopes into a Google+ Hangout on Air. We'll show you whatever objects are visible this time of year, and even take requests.

To celebrate the landing of NASA's Curiosity Rover - the Mars Science Laboratory - we'll be running a special live hangout.
In conjunction with @106911959181067745693. We'll have all your favorite space/astronomy journalists on hand to discuss the mission in depth, and celebrate the landing live, when it happens. Join Fraser Cain, @109036978092446954908, @108952536790629690817 and @102887292457967781591 for this special event.
Over the course of this 4-hour Google+ Hangout on Air, we'll interview members of the Curiosity team live in the hangout, as well as other special guests from the @111419948721791453320 and the @108759765804984663877.
@109479143173251353583 and @107051665537162034944 will be on location at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to interview members of the engineering team, and show you what it's like to be at NASA during this amazing moment.
We'll update this event as we lock down more of the guests and participants. See you there! You can follow the hashtag #marshangout
(this will replace our regular Sunday night @100902337165997768522)

Come join our weekly *Virtual Star Party*, held right here on Google+ as soon as it gets dark Sunday night on the West Coast of North America. We'll stream multiple telescopes into a Google+ Hangout, and show you the night sky. Learn about telescopes and astrophotography from the people actually doing it. We'll also have research astronomers on hand to explain the science behind what you're seeing.
Is there a specific object you'd like to see? We'll even take requests.

Google+ Relevance CircleWhat people of "relevance" do we have in common? Care to share?This big shared circle contains my most "relevant" circles according to G+. It also only contains people/profiles who post publicly (Either occasionally or prolifically).Do you recognize others in the list? (I think the probability is high)As far as I know, the visual beside the "Add people" button below shows you the 8 people from this circle who are most "relevant" to you. Also, if you click that add people button, the list inside is also ordered by "relevance".Some people in this circle I know very well... others I haven't met at all (Besides interfacing with what they share publicly on G+) I'm curious, what circles do we share of high relevance? Give a few people shout outs! Let's have a random chat.You were likely notified of this post... I normally don't share to any of my specific circles, so as to avoid sending out unwanted notifications... But since I have you and your attention here... HELLO! Have we talked before? Why do you think I have you circled? What's of relevance for you? (Besides people on G+) If we do know each other... Have we been in touch lately? If not, let please catch up!﻿

Circle Share #6: AstrophotographersThere is some overlap with my science circle, but I chose use a separate circle for astrophotography to see all the beautiful images in one place. Credit where credit is due, though: this circle is also based, but not completely similar, to one with the same name originally shared by Fraser Cain some time ago (goo.gl/eFM1uQ).﻿

Circle Share #5: CosmoQuest, Universe Today & CoThis is a slightly more condensed circle and could be called "Friends of", because in addition to the scientists and journalists working for +CosmoQuest, +Universe Today, +The Planetary Society and +Astronomers Without Borders, it also contains all those people who have or have had some connection to them. Most of those people are in the previous circle, too. ﻿

Circle Share #4: Science, Space & AstronomyOne of the other things I try to get involved in, or at least promote, is everything about these fields and for this reason I have a hand-picked circle with everything about science, spaceflight and exploration and astronomy around. It's a relatively low-noise group, but everyone from space journalists and scientists from the CosmoQuest & Universe Today crowd, many astronauts and a lot more people are in there. If you want even more, have a look at Fraser Cain's Super Science Circle (goo.gl/BZow8O), on which my circle was originally partly based on - but it has taken on a kind of life of its own during the last year.﻿
